DAVID MEASURES Brought up amid a wealth of wildlife on the banks of the Avon in Warwick his enthusiasm for the natural world developed at an early age. He went on to study painting and printmaking at the Slade before lecturing at Nottingham Trent University. His life has been divided between his enthusiasm for Art and his deep love of Natural History. He is an acknowledged expert on butterflies, having published two books on the subject and contributed to others. He has exhibited throughout Britain, won the BBC Wildlife Magazine’s major award and has had a television programme made about him. Fundamental to all his work are the diaries he has kept since his teens. He observes, writes and paints in the field. In the Natural History work he attempts that elusive quality - the life of the creature. In his landscapes he is free to begin a dialogue with place, its changes and his medium when chance or inclinations can prevail.
